My baby cousin had her 5th birthday party the other day and I put together a cute little pirate chest for her! The rest of out family were mostly just giving her clothes (boring for a 5 year old!) so I wanted to do something fun! Even though she loves pirates, most of her toys are princess/doll/fairy theme (which she also loves). So pirates were the perfect theme!I painted an awesome chest found at Michaels (40% off!!) and filled it with DIY and bought pirate goodies!!Enough ramble. Onto pics!!

The pirate chest. Painted black, glitter spray, then a cute little white skull I made a stencil for (pain in the butt!)

The inside. Map from the internet mod-podged on and foam letters that I painted black because they were in pinks, purples, and greens.

A bag for her pirate booty!! I am not good at sewing, so I bought a fabric lunch sack and ironed on the letters.

Acrylic paint stripes and acrylic paint tiny skull that matches the one on the chest. I made a stencil for that one too and it was no fun!!

Tie tutu on elastic.

I little scroll that was at the top of her chest. Ahoy me matey, Captain Bella!On ye day o' birth I would like to present ya with yer own pirate chest! Inside ya will find many o' treasures to use upon yer grand adventures. Methinks these gifts'll help ya in yer quest fer dubloons! Use this chest ta's keep yer motherload o' booty away from them landlubbin' scallywags!Much luck ta' ya!Lieutenant Sydney
